I'll be at the launch between 5-5:30 and will hang some KFF signs at the covered area. My green Armada aka "The Tank" is flagged with a KFF sticker and I'll be bummin a boat ride with Matt on his white North River with "Get'n Jiggy" on the side.

Kokonuts has a white Hewes with a mile long antena named "She's so fine." (not sure if King Koke will be with him or in his lime green v-hull)

Koke-n-a-smile has a boat similar to Yimee. (I think his is a 17 ft. Lowe)

Lowe1648mt has an olive green Lowe 1648.

We'll wave with all five fingers... as you troll by at 3 mph.

Cool I like Hi-vis targets.......I figure going that fast I will just lap every one enough times to see how it is really suppose to be done. Then I will slow down, I wouldn't want any one to get dizzy. Hopefully I will have my speed control issue dealt with by then, new toy is suppose to be in tomorrow and I will get it installed Friday night. I know what Kokonuts boat looks like I met him at Merwin (that's how I found this place). Here is my floating money pit.

I have room for 2 on Sat June 25th at Yale!

I will try to be at the "Starting Gate" by 5:00 on Sat.

Send PM if you can make it!!

I have upgraded to 1962 14ft with a 1964 evinrude 9.9

**Koke-n-a-smile** · 06-22-2011, 09:50 PM

Mine is a 17' tan and blue Smokercraft. Yimmie will be the one catching all of the fish, he is slaying them up there

I will be looking to follow him around and pick up the ones he misses

I had to get a new battery, so I am just hoping everything works, otherwise I will have to start eating early

**chief** · 06-23-2011, 12:04 AM

Count me in can't wait

Looks like Shawn and I are going to catch a ride with Kokonuts!

Dang now no one can make fun of my high speed driving...

**Kokonuts** · 06-23-2011, 12:53 PM

Looks like the empty seats are filled, sooo I'll see you at Yale!

Kokonuts

**TrollNFisher** · 06-23-2011, 06:05 PM

It will be my first time on Yale and can't wait to meet everyone and FISH, I plan on following everyone around the lake and I'll act like I'm fishing, but I'll be spying out on what everyone is using.

I'll give a wave and say HI

**Duroboat Rider** · 06-23-2011, 10:22 PM

I will be joining in on TrollNFisher's Boat

so I will help him learn the area, yet will have the bino's out!!! Looking forward to meeting everyone and share some kok stories!!!!

**yimmee** · 06-24-2011, 08:27 PM

i will have my vhf radio on channel 68 if anyone wants to talk, or if anyone else has a better channel let me know. Would be nice to hear what is hitting and at what depth. last sunday it was 24 - 28 on the down riggers, and on the side rods it was 2oz in frount of a UV sling blade at 15 pulls, or 19' on a line counter. green was the goto color with a silver or brass blade. with the UV C/B spinner taking off in the afternoon.Also for some resson a black hook' ed set up seemed to work better.

cheers

, and a wave

... SEE YOU ALL UP THERE

**king koke** · 06-25-2011, 01:30 AM

cant sleep

**chief** · 06-25-2011, 04:16 AM

still up haven't had the chance to even think of sleep being since i just got off two 12hour night shifts PS they are not very fun see ya'll in a couple of hours.

**MackPrince** · 06-25-2011, 07:58 PM

We couldn't have asked for a better morning of fishing. Most boats came home with lots of keepers, the wind was calm to nil, and the clouds stayed away making for a wonderful day.

Thank you to everyone who came for our third annual gathering. It was nice to get some time face to face to swap stories and talk kokanee for an afternoon. As you can see in the picture our group continues to grow and it sounds like several KFF people were able to camp next to eachother.

I'd like to send a special thank you to Kokanee Creek Tackle, Vance's Tackle, Bugeye Lures and Kent Cannon for providing everyone with some great new lures and some copies of Kent's newest book.

**Petty4life** · 06-25-2011, 09:46 PM

Great job guys,

**chief** · 06-25-2011, 11:22 PM

Didn't get a chance to thank you guy's for the food and company so I guess this is about the best I can do for now. Oh yeh and thanks for the lures looking forward to trying them out next time.

**yimmee** · 06-26-2011, 12:12 AM

nice to meet you all, thanks to kff and mackprince for putting this on

,food was good , company was good, and i walked a way with some good reading material. and heres some morning pictures.

**Koke-n-a-smile** · 06-26-2011, 09:33 AM

Had a great time, thanks Mack and Kokonuts, I appreciate you guys organizing this

I am looking forward to trying the new gear, they look great!

See you on the water!

**Koke Hunter** · 06-26-2011, 10:50 AM

It was definitely nice to meet everyone. I hope next year I get more than two hours sleep the night before so I will be a bit more talkative. My daughter and I enjoyed some great weather and good fishing. We only landed 7 fish but had a ton of strikes and headed home after lunch.

**Get'nJiggy** · 06-26-2011, 11:19 AM

Thanks again for puting this on, it was a great time. Nice to meet everyone, looking forward to some good reports from this summer!
Tight lines!
-Matt

**Mudinchev** · 06-27-2011, 01:45 AM

A big thanks to every one involved in making this happen!! And to Kokonuts an even bigger THANK YOU! Shawn and I had a great time you filled my head with so much information it was unreal!

And I have to say, Shawn hung on every word you had to say, that little sponge has been telling stories/tips/tricks about that trip non stop since we got home. He is a true fish-o-holic we weren't home 10 minutes and he asked "Can we go down to the creek and go fishing?" Hopefully we can hook up later this summer and you can learn me Merwin's hot spots.

**lowe1648mt** · 06-27-2011, 08:53 AM

I want to say Thank You to Mark and Richard for making this possible. It iis special to have time to be with others who appreciate good fishing and freinds. Yale is a nice place also.

**TrollNFisher** · 06-27-2011, 02:05 PM

Wanted to thank you to MackPrince and Kokonuts for the get together this Family day lunch was great, it was fun putting handles to actual faces. Food was an excellent choice and thanks again, got to fish both lakes man what a weekend!!! See you on the water.
